Will being upset do any good? I'm lucky if I get a phone call. Anyway, it doesn't bother me, really. My son is at an age where there are too many other important things to deal with. At least he doesn't ask for money! And someday, I will NOT be available for babysitting. LOL Despite the benign neglect, we're good with our relationship.

thats funny because I had to call my son on my birthday and remind him...and he said "oh happy birthday but can I call you back because you woke me up"
Am I wrong to feel upset because my grown children whom Ive housed, fed, cloth, nursed when sick, etc didnt do anything for me on my birthday?
Nope not anything...not even a birthday card
Thats just the way it goes. The love and devotion between parent and child flows mostly in one direction.
I alway thought it should be the mother that is celebrated on ones birthday. maybe you should send your mother a card if you are lucky enough to still have her.

I agree. My mother passed going on 5 years now.
I wonder if it is different with sons tho. With my sons its hit or miss. Sometimes I get acknowledgement, but not always.
We should start celebrating ourselves on their birthdays. I wish filming births was "in" when mine were born. I would duct tape their eyes open and make them watch it, then maybe Id get a card.

Lmao!!!!! I can totally see my mom making a similar comment.
Hers is usually more of a rhetorical question. Something along the lines of, "Did some bastard tell you I'm not your real birth mother?"....

Not at all. But I'll cross my fingers for you that they're planning a surprise.
On a side note, I must say that this is an awesome day to have a birthday.
